Blush: This is a suggestive romance (love scenes are not graphic)It's New York City, way way in the future and many things have changed - like the legalization of sex for hire and the popularity of the undead in the world's oldest profession. Conversely, the unreliability of males, immortal or human, remains a constant, or at least that's what Detective Tess Monterey has deduced after a particularly painful breakup with her partner and secret lover.While investigating an apparent sex slaying, the trail leads to Blood Bytes - the city's only online vampire agency, and its most sought-after supernatural stud, Devante Matiero. The last person to see the victim alive, Matiero quickly rises to the top of Tess' most wanted list - in more ways than one.Tess wades through a series of suspects and clues, along with her own distracting desires, desperately trying to close the case while holding onto her new-found stay-away-from-love conviction. But as she is destined to discover, things are not always as they appear. And not all good intentions pave the road to hell - some actually overlay the way to heaven.Reader Advisory: Contains light bondage scenes.
